Temple Dedication and a New Stake

Last Sunday, August 24, was the dedication of the Twin Falls Temple. The day before that was the youth cultural celebration which Jake took part in. I got to watch the performance and hear President Monson bless the youth of the region. I was so grateful that my son was part of the celebration and a recipient of that blessing. Jake has quite an eventful week. He went on a 50 mile hike with his scout troop and got home Friday morning in time for a few hours rest and then off to dress rehearsal for the cultural celebration. They got home about 9:30 that night and then were up early saturday morning to practice, practice, practice, until the acutal performance for the prophet. President Monson and President Eyring were there and the youth put on a wonderful performance.

Then we were at the 9am session for the temple dedication. We got to watch the cornerstone ceremony and participate in the Hosanna shout. It was a very special day.

Then today at church we were told that a new stake was being form, the Twin Falls South Stake, of which our ward will be a part. we will have a stake conference at the new Twin Falls Stake Center on Spetember 14th. Then a new stake center will be built next spring off of Orchard Drive. Until then, we will use the old stake center on Maurice Street as our stake center. It is exciting to see how Twin Falls is growing spiritually.
